Umpire Gary Cederstrom ejected Terry Collins from Thursday’s game after arguing a replay call he felt went against the Mets in the fifth inning.

“Gary handled it just like he was supposed to,” Collins said. “He said, ‘The play stands, and I’ve got nothing else to say.’ I said, ‘Well, I’ve got something to say.”

Mets C Taylor Teagarden hit a ground ball to start the fifth inning, but it was bobbled by Brewers 1B Mark Reynolds. The play at first base was close, Angel Hernandez signaled out, replay backed him up, but Collins disagreed.

“I’ve seen closer plays overturned,” Collins told reporters. “They just said the play stands. It would be nice to know what angle they were looking at.”

Nevertheless, despite the drama, Collins said he still supports replay in baseball.

The SNY booth was somewhat split on it as they were reviewing though Gary made it out like it was blatantly clear afterwards (the other two didn't seem to be so gung ho). It wasn't really that important of a play or part of the game. Somewhat strange that he picked there to get thrown out. There was probably other cases, including to rile up the team or something, where being thrown out would make more sense. Shrug.

Seriously? The first out in a middle inning when we were down by 3 runs? How is that not an important out? And as for the play not being clear, I turned on the Brewers broadcast and even THEIR announcers thought it would be overturned. That's always a clear indicator that it was obvious.

@Joe Paulson He might have been "hot" for 2-3 days but he is 1 for his last 15 and is batting .223 on the season. Time to let Flores play - he hasn't started in 6 days and he is supposed to be "sharing" SS with Tejada.

This is the beginning of the end for TC. He has changed the lineup, Mets lose. He pushes buttons, Mets lose. He gets new players, Mets lose. He has now stooped to getting tossed to fire up team, Mets lose. He is a losing manager of a losing team. Something has to give.
